Oil in Frame – this is what my current Bonneville would have looked like rolling out of the factory. Mustard yellow, conical front drum brake, and a hefty oil filled backbone in the frame. Doesn’t look like that now! It’s a unique Geordies Bike!

Esses
Autumn Curves- perfect Fall conditions on the roads today: crisp air with a warming sun. Oak, maple and elm bring a golden and fiery backdrop to the ride. I wore an amber tinted visor; it was like riding in a Martian sunset, made things quite clear actually with a high definition monochrome- which didn’t affect the red and green traffic lights.

One-Two
A Right Pair – here are the two bikes in drive side profile. A little tweaking of fuel lines. Had the Cub in tight figure eights around the garage. Tomorrow is forecast as perfect autumnal weather. The Bonnie will be taken out.
On another note the Chicago Cubs just got through to the World Series.

Top Trump – Top Triumph – classic schoolyard card game of seeing which specification of different collections of vehicle match against each other. Aircraft, ships, cars, military, commercial, racing. I had a set of racing motorcycles and fighter jets.

Brit Bikes in Porter Indiana – 7.30am start for a terrific outing around the bottom of Lake Michigan, through Gary and the Dune shoreline to Three Oaks MI. Roads for the most part were quite low trafficked, apart from LSD at the last lap of the return leg!
